Direct entry into The University of Adelaide

Leading to : Bachelor of Science
The Bachelor of Science lets you design your own degree based on your strengths and emerging interests. From Chemistry to Palaeontology, Genetics to Geophysics... we support your scientific curiosity.

Our degree is ranked best for Science in South Australia, and among the top 104 in the world^.

What will you do?
Whether you want to use your critical thinking to help drive global change or join the cutting-edge of research, our Bachelor of Science will give you the skills you need. You will:

• Become an adaptable scientist as you learn the skills to evolve with one of the fastest-growing sectors
• Learn from world-class researchers who are experts in their field
• Develop connections in the science world through internships
• Engage with new ideas through discovery and experiential learning
• Develop in-depth discipline knowledge through a major
• Build highly sought-after skills in communication, critical thinking and creative problem solving
• Access research facilities of international significance.

Major: Theoretical Physics
Physics is concerned with our universe at both the macro and micro levels. Theoretical physicists develop mathematical and computational models to explain phenomena like gravity, dark matter and new physical laws.

By majoring in theoretical physics you will:

• Study fundamental physics, ranging from Newtonian physics and electromagnetism to quantum and relativistic physics
• Use mathematical models to explore both present and developing physical theories
• Explore quantum mechanics, advanced dynamics, relativity and astrophysics
• Develop your critical thinking and problem-solving skills
• Learn from international researchers in areas like nuclear and particle physics
• Take advantage of opportunities through the co-located Centre for Subatomic Structure of Matter.

Combine your critical thinking and problem-solving skills with physics knowledge and expertise to work in in scientific computing, telecommunications, space and astronomy programs, forensic science, defence, health and environmental industries, medical physics, data science applications, and in research.

The modelling and data analysis skills developed in this major are highly sought after in areas ranging from finance through to consulting careers.

Progression requirements
Note -  Progression to The University of Adelaide requires students to achieve a specified score out of 500 points. Find out the admission requirements into your chosen degree.
